Dear Friend ,
Our Valentine's Day "Sharing the Love" food distribution was a tremendous success! We served hundreds of families with fresh milk and eggs. As a reminder, our food distributions have always been free to the public and require no qualifications.
Thank you to Gaddafi Ismail of De Lune Corp, my good friends at United Community, and the volunteers who made the event possible.
Watch the video below to see a short video recap.

Also, please join Congressman Gerry Connolly, Prince William County Potomac District Supervisor Andrea Bailey, and me tomorrow (Friday) at 11am for a virtual Community Conversation on 2022 legislative priorities and how they impact the Black community.
From disparities in healthcare, education, and business, to criminal justice reform and voting rights, there are several systemic obstacles the Black community faces. We hope that through this conversation we can hear about issues important to you in order to better advocate for the Black community in Congress.
